Soldering Iron
How to Use:
-
You should have everything ready before you start to solder.
-
Plug device in after making sure you are following the safety guidelines.
-
Turn the power on by turning the knob to the right.
-
The tip will now warm up and you can use that to melt the solder that you will hold close to the position you want to solder
-
After a solder you should clean your tip in the wet sponge.
-
Make sure that when you are not holding it, that the soldering iron is in its dedicated holder.
Safety Guidelines:
-
Never touch the tip of the soldering iron. It can melt metal, so what do you think it will do to your skin?
-
Hold wires to be heated with tweezers or clamps.
-
Keep the cleaning sponge wet during use.
-
Always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use. Never put it down on the workbench.
-
Turn unit off and unplug when not in use.
-
Wear eye protection. Solder can “spit,” throwing out bits of molten metal.
-
Always wash your hands with soap and water after soldering. Lead in solder is toxic.
-
All those soldering should be trained and supervised appropriately. Do not use soldering irons that have obvious damage to body, cable or plug.
-
Keep the soldering station free of electrical cables to prevent damage from the heated tip.
-
Immediate place any burns under cold water for 15 minutes.
